Not only was yesterday's Arctic sea-ice extent a record low for the day, yesterday's extent beat every year prior to 2024 by over half a million square kilometers.
The Arctic currently has a streak of 21 straight days of record low sea-ice extent.

People keep asking me why I don't date without realizing how many people I have to block just trying to make friends online 🙄 The lack of respect for my boundaries is absurd. People treat me like an object and I despise it.

We can plant trees. We can’t plant ecosystems.
China’s massive regreening effort reduced erosion, but also altered rainfall and water availability across much of the country.
Replacing natural hydrologic regimes with engineered ones has consequences.

China Planted 78 Billion New Trees—and Seriously Messed Up Its Water Cycle — Popular Mechanics
China’s planted a bunch of new trees since 1981, but that extra foliage is shifting more precipitation to some areas while drying out others.

People could just not have kids, but no, we're just going to kill everything on earth instead because of greed
People ask, “What’s the solution to overpopulation?”
Answer: weaken environmental protections, cut oversight, and expand pollution leading to higher disease rates, contaminated water, & shortened lives, especially for the poor.
That’s our path.

I don't usually talk about my disabilities but I need to vent. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and my knees have been dislocating because of it since I was 6. Now my finger joints are deteriorating too. I braid my hair every day but my index finger is getting so bad I know I won't be able to forever.

This graph shows the average November volume of Arctic sea-ice. As you can see, November, 2025, set a new record low for sea-ice volume.
Volume, thickness and extent are all at record lows right now for the date. The Climate 8-ball is chanting, "Ice free by twenty-fifty."

A while back I wrote a thread about neurodivergence and #collapse that struck a chord with far more people than I expected.
Several of you asked me to take it further - to deepen it, and make sense of the pattern properly.

A casual reminder.
Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 from about 270 ppm pre-industrial to about 435 ppm today, an increase of about 165 ppm.
That's about the same increase as having 1650 people simultaneously urinating 250 ml (~1 cup) into an olympic sized swimming pool.

People who try to blame AI for their own poor choices are a special kind of stupid. It's like blaming a search engine for giving you bad ideas when you're the one who typed the information in.

Once again, Monbiot asserts his position on population growth, deriding those who posit that population growth must be curbed for the integrity of the biosphere as would-be murderers. As usual, he ignores the harms to women including death posed by forced pregnancy policies of pronatalists.
Trump thinks immigrants will destroy Europe. The truth is the opposite.
This column is about the long arc of population change, the hybridity of European cultures, and the widely-misinterpreted results of demographic momentum.

These are the facts: plummeting birth rates mean that without attracting immigration, many countries are sliding towards collapse, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
